To ask what you’d do with £1500

[AStudyinPink]

Just received an unexpected windfall of about £1500. Very happy. Will probably do something sensible with it (have savings but planning home improvements).

But just to while away the hours, what would you do with £1500 this weekend if you could just spend it on yourself, and things you want rather than need?

Sorry, everyone: no carpets or boilers unless they are truly what your heart desires.

Under the mattress.

Put it towards a post-pandemic holiday.

Self-improvement. Maybe try a bit of Botox, some teeth whitening. I'd love to get 'down below' tightened up too.
Sorry, but it's not enough money

A nice path across my lawn and some lovely planters. And the rest in the savings account towards my greenhouse.

A new fanny trimmer mine has just died mid cut then stick the change in next year's holiday fund

Mid cut 😂

Nothing worse than a half trimmed fanny.

Hmm actually a new bedroom carpet

I hate this one since I moved abd it’s going to be a while till I replace as technically there’s nothing wrong with it

I miss my massively expensive feet sink in One I left.

A year's worth of hay for the horses. Sorted.

I'd a few more hundreds and buy a Prada handbag

Invisalign and get my teeth sorted.

Pay the remainder of my credit card with it and then save the rest....guaranteed something will come up when you don’t have funds to hand.

I'd buy my husband another Tag Heuer. I'd have to add to it but it'd be worth it. Hd deserves it. ❤

A new bed or a trip to Iceland (when we can go, obvs)

Got this in October. Currently sitting in the savings account as the one thing I want isn't possible.

I want to book a Koala experience at Longleat Safari Park for me, DD and DH (for him purely to take lovely pictures, he is not keen on eucalyptus smelling animals) and a nice spa hotel somewhere in the area for a second day.

Buy a new ass. Mines gotta crack in it. LOL . JOKING ASIDE I'D SIT ON IT TIMES ARE GETTING HARDER

If I didn't have debts, I'd save it for DM's house moving costs. She struggles and really needs to move to somewhere more suitable.

Had a win on premium bonds last month and with that I’ve ordered myself a Nordic track treadmill

I bought a ragdoll kitten in July, she is worth every penny.

I'm booking a log cabin with a private hot tub for when lockdown is eased, I am sick of the sight of my house now.

I need new underwear and would buy some nice stuff instead of boring cheap stuff. I would also invest in some t-shirts to go with my new leggings as that is all I wear right now.

What I should spend it on - credit card and baby bits

What I'd love to spend it on - a gorgeous morganite and diamond ring I've had my eye for months.

I’d put it towards the outrageously expensive dinner service I want but am not going to get. It’s about £3000.

I’ll forget the boiler then lol and go for a beautiful diamond and ruby ring .

I’ve put the money I’ve lately received on savings. We want to do a big refurbishment in the house so it’ll be used.

However, I love travelling so it can also be used on going around the corner in rhe current situation:)

New sofa and general living room make over

Self watering herb trough

Fancy knickers

Someone to clean my oven

New clothes

Fancy haircut

Lots of garden plants

I'd buy vision.
I saved for laser eye surgery pre kids but one of my eyes isn't suitable so I couldn't go ahead. I was initially scared of the "insert a contact lens under the cornea" alternative, then I had kids and no money! £1500 would get the lens inserted in the none-laserable eye. I'd have to fund the other eye myself!

I'm saving up for new decking which is 1500 lol
